The Women of Maiden's Creek
(2026)(A book in the Maiden's Creek series)
An omnibus of novels by Alison Stuart
Three unforgettable women. One isolated goldmining town. Secrets that refuse to stay buried.
In the remote Australian goldfields of the 1870s and beyond, Maiden's Creek is a town where fortunes are won and lost, where the harsh beauty of the bush conceals dark secrets, and where three remarkable women will fight for survival, justice, and love.
THE POSTMISTRESS Adelaide Greaves, widowed postmistress, guards a dangerous secret behind her respectable façade. When battle-scarred American veteran Caleb Hunt saves her son's life, an undeniable connection forms between these two wounded souls. But a figure from Adelaide's past threatens everything, and they must face their worst fears to protect what matters most.
THE GOLDMINER'S SISTER Eliza Penrose travels from England seeking a fresh start, only to find her brother dead under mysterious circumstances. As the new schoolteacher, she's determined to uncover the truth. Mine engineer Alec McLeod, haunted by his own losses, finds himself drawn to Eliza despite a promise that stands between them. When disaster strikes the mine, secrets surface and they risk losing everything—including their lives.
THE HOMECOMING Twenty years after fleeing Maiden's Creek, Charlie O'Reilly returns as hospital matron, determined to prove her worth and escape her past. Daniel Hunt, now a successful lawyer, comes seeking answers about his own troubled childhood. When a brutal murder rocks the town, Charlie and Danny must forge an uneasy alliance. As a devastating storm tears through Maiden's Creek, long-buried secrets rise to the surface, and they must confront the truths that have haunted them both.
From award-winning author Alison Stuart comes this meticulously researched series brimming with atmospheric detail, gripping mystery, and unforgettable romance.
